Cardano’s MusashiNet public testnet reached roughly six times the throughput of today’s Praos mainnet under synthetic load. If this work survives further testing and reaches mainnet, it could remove a major capacity constraint for applications. (Cardano, Input Output)

Cardano’s native USDC launch increased its stablecoin supply by 40%, while Pyth and Dune integrations went live and LayerZero work continued. More stablecoin liquidity and better data and cross-chain tools could make the network more useful for DeFi. (Cardano, Cardano)

The Cardano Foundation joined Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program to explore payments, stablecoins, cross-border transfers and business-to-business settlement. This gives Cardano a potential route into real-world financial use, although commercial results still need to follow. (CoinEdition, WalletInvestor.com)

Cardano’s fees covered only about 0.7% of staking rewards across the 73 epochs ending 1 September, while average daily transactions were reported to be 72% below 2022 levels. This suggests that current staking economics still rely heavily on declining reserve emissions rather than organic network income. (CryptoSlate)

Leios has shown higher capacity in a test environment, but it is not yet live on mainnet and the test used synthetic traffic. The upgrade therefore proves potential throughput, not that real users will arrive or generate enough fees to support ADA’s economics. (CryptoSlate, Cardano)

Cardano’s DeFi base remains small, with recent reports placing total value locked near $65–68 million and stablecoins accounting for most of it. That concentration points to limited application liquidity and leaves the ecosystem vulnerable if stablecoin inflows do not become sustained user activity. (NBTC News, Gate)
